How to pay yourself as a trustee?

Trustees of Living Trusts can receive compensation in the form of a percentage of the trust estate (for example, 1% of estate value) or whats termed as reasonable compensation. This holds true even if youre a Beneficiary or a professional Trustee.

When should Form 56 be filed?

Generally, you must file Form 56 when you create (or terminate) a fiduciary relationship. File Form 56 with the Internal Revenue Service Center where the person for whom you are acting is required to file tax returns. Proceedings (other than bankruptcy) and assignments for the benefit of creditors.

Who appoints the trustees of a trust?

The power to appoint trustees is often contained in the trust deed and is commonly granted to either the trustee of the trust from time to time, or a third party such as the settlor or protector of the trust. Whoever has the power to appoint new or additional trustees must take into account a variety of factors.

Can I make myself the trustee of a trust?

Legally, you can appoint yourself as the Trustee of any trust you create, whether it is a revocable or irrevocable trust. Appointing yourself as the Trustee of an irrevocable trust in which you are also the Settlor, however, would almost always defeat the purpose of making the trust irrevocable.

Can you make yourself the trustee of a trust?

Some trusts do allow the grantor to serve as trustee of his or her own trust. In fact, its the norm for most revocable living trusts. However, some grantors want trusts that offer asset protection.
